The Greenwich Historical Society's present exhibit of "A Good Light" grew out of its restoration this year of the North Bedroom on the second floor of the Bush Holley House. The return of the dormer window has brought back the full complement of light that so attracted the Cos Cob Impressionist painters who stayed there. Photo: Anne W. Semmes -

Childe Hassam had an impressive artist studio in New York City with a view of Central Park but when he came to paint interiors in Cos Cob, he gravitated to the North Bedroom of "The Old House." It was there, in the North Bedroom, that he painted this picture of his wife Maud, "Morning Light, 1914." Photo: Courtesy Of Adelson Galleries
